        In France we have Jean-Marie Le Pen. He tortured people and was friends with nazis. He’s 96 and still alive.

          True, and Betty White to 99, just a couple weeks plus change from her 100th.

          They’re very much the EXCEPTION rather than the rule, though…

          “Only the good die young” logically implies that good people can live a long time, but bad people will never die young. A counterexample would be someone who was an absolute shitbag and also died young.

            Statistically speaking some of those kids with cancer have to be assholes, right? Some of those assholes might turn out bad, if they lived.

            I guess one could argue they weren’t completely bad when they died since they were kids.

      I used to think that was just a saying but now that I’m in my 40s, it has generally held true, and it suuuucks.
